Airdrop Module | For Multi-Missions Management System

Brochure

Airdrop is an optional module available for Universal Avionics’ Multi-Mission
Management System (MMMS) that calculates an Air Release Point (ARP),
and provides guidance and steering to a position offset where the delivery
should exit the aircraft for a landing at the desired drop zone.

The MMMS with Airdrop provides dynamic guidance to the ARP updated
continuously until 15 seconds prior to the release. Discrete output signals
can be used to indicate approach to the ARP within one minute, arrival
at the ARP and reaching the end of release to provide delivery within
the specified target zone. Airdrop also includes an automatic “holding
pattern” reversal and repeat for more than one pass over the drop zone.
Wind and release parameters can be adjusted during the return for
subsequent releases.

Specific parachute ballistic and aircraft data can be conveniently created
offline via a Universal-supplied PC tool, and loaded into the MMMS
using the Solid-State Data Transfer Unit (SSDTU).

Airdrop delivery profiles can be created directly through the MMMS
Control Display Unit, or ahead of time with the offline PC tool. Once
loaded, the profile can be changed or edited by the flight crew prior
to commencing the airdrop release.
